On a recent episode of Millan’s series “Cesar 911,” the self-taught dog behaviorist was attempting to teach an aggressive canine to live harmoniously with other animals, but video footage shows the pooch attacking a pig’s ear, which drew blood.

Critics have slammed the best-selling author, 46, in wake of the incident, but the top brass at Nat Geo Wild are standing by their on-air talent.

“The pig that was nipped … was tended to immediately afterward, healed quickly and showed no lasting signs of distress … As a result, [the dog] did not have to be separated from his owner of euthanized,” the network said in a statement.

“We are using the video [as evidence] – and not just the clip, which takes it completely out of context,” explained Aaron Reyes, an Animal Care and Control spokesperson. “We were able to talk to people that were on the scene, we were able to see the pic and we talked to Cesar and his attorney.”
